Array of transport elements for supporting and moving plant pots

ABSTRACT

A process for breeding plants which comprises growing plants of a species in an array of containers charged with growing medium of uniform characteristics in an environment of controlled climatic conditions with controlled supply of nutrients and feed water and changing the positions of the containers within the environment as required to ensure at least substantially uniform exposure of all plants in the containers to conditions in the environment. A process for the breeding of open pollinating plants in a greenhouse environment is also provided.

FIG. 1 is a top view of the array of transport elements for supporting and moving plant pots showing our new design,

FIG. 2 is an enlarged left lower corner view thereof;

FIG. 3 is an enlarged right lower corner view thereof;

FIG. 4 is an enlarged upper left corner view thereof;

FIG. 5 is an enlarged upper right corner view thereof; and,

FIG. 6 is a perspective view of one of the transport element of our design, a portion of the unclaimed wall has been removed for clarity of illustration.

The broken line dividing the array of transport elements in four sections in FIG. 1 and the additional figure legends are included to clearly identify the areas shown in enlarged FIGS. 2 through 5.

The broken lines in the figures are included for the purpose of illustrating environment and form no part of the claimed design. 

The ornamental design for an array of transport elements for supporting and moving plant pots, as shown and described.
